Has anybody used Santa Fe Jewelers Supply before? If so what was your experience. I am thinking of buying some Silicon Carbide belts from them and was just curious if there products are good or bad. The belts are quite cheap in price compared to other places. here is a link to what I am looking at. tinyurl.com/5dfsawJason

I have bought silversmithing tools from them and thought they had good prices, and the quality was high, do not know about the belts though.

You ought to think about diamond belts! They are such a pleasure. I get plain belts from Kingsley North and diamond paste. Dab on the paste and rub it in, then silicone spray, and rub some more. Then off you go. Maybe 6 bucks for a finished belt. Tony

I've bought several different things from them and their service is good, prices are quite reasonable and shipping time is decent. I'd recommend them.

Those are low prices. Make sure they will fit your drums. "8 x 3 " belts come in two different sizes. Exact Span (25 1/4") and 25 7/32". The Rayspan and most all rubber expandos take the 25 7/32" belts. Exact Span are the Lortone drums with aluminum centers.
